Good morning,
Hope you’re well 🙂
I wanted to write a poem to you today called “Goodbye Dear Stranger”. It’s all about two people who meet on a cold winter’s night, and how their connection takes them on a journey from mere strangers to good friends. I hope you enjoy giving it a read!

Good morning everyone,
I hope you’re well and are having a lovely week 🙂
I’ve been travelling to London quite a few times over the last couple of times, and one thing that always fascinates me is the tube. You meet all sorts of people on the tube, from classic people that you meet daily to people dressed up as characters, some playing instruments – you name it and you never know, it might just have been on a London tube 😉
Thinking back on this over the other day, I thought it could make for a lovely little series of poems. So, I put pen to paper, and in today’s blog, we’ll explore my first version of “This Morning on the Tube”.

Good morning everyone,
I hope you’re having an outstanding start to the day 🙂
The last couple of years have been a real whirlwind for me, with highs and lows helping to shape me into the person I am today.
I wanted to take some time to write a letter to a younger me, letting me know that although the journey isn’t always easy, we always find our own way through.

Good morning everyone,
I hope you’re having a lovely start to the week 🙂
Friendships change a lot as we progress through life – some people we’ll meet and stay close to, others may drift away over time. It took me a little while to realise that this is all completely normal, so I thought I’d put pen to paper and write a poem about it to share with you all. Hope you enjoy giving it a read 🙂

Good afternoon everyone,
I hope you’re having a great start to the weekend 🙂
I’ve been wandering around memory lane a little bit lately and found a poem that I wrote back in 2022, which I am incredibly proud of. I’ve been debating getting back into writing poems lately, so this may end up acting as a nice little incentiviser! With that in mind, let’s take a look at my poem, called “Life’s Mysterious Journey” in today’s blog.

Good afternoon everyone,
I hope you’re having a lovely start to the weekend 🙂
Poetry has always been a fantastic outlet for me to understand and add context to my thoughts, feelings and my internal monologue. Whenever I would have trouble putting things into words, I commonly found that the whole process was far easier when I instead tried to turn it into a poem, the whole experience was so much easier.
Let’s explore this in a little more detail…

Lockdown has affected each and every one of us in one way or another over the course of 2020. For many, lockdown has left people with a lot more time on their hands, compared to what they are usually used to, and it can lead to people feeling lost over what to do in the day. As England entered their second lockdown, which was to be for a month from the 5th November to the 2nd December, The Brown Minimalist has wrote us a guest poem, which takes a look at some of the things we can do in these unusual times.
I hope you enjoy today’s guest post, be sure to let me know what you think!

Everybody in life is writing their own book,
Each day a new page, a new mindset and look,
Life can be like the weather, forever changing,
One day it could be bright, the next it could be raining,
The sun always comes back though to brighten up your day,
The sun makes us feel happier, taking the sad times away,
Whatever we do in life we must take with pride,
Take each opportunity with a positive mindset and try to enjoy life’s ride.
Each year of our life can be turned into an episode,
Lessons we learn, the knowledge bestowed,
Embrace every chance to meet new people and friends,
Let them be there with you as you go through life’s bends,
Move forward through life with a positive mindset,
If you’re nervous about something get help, don’t sit there and fret.
Whatever we do in life we must take with pride,
Take each opportunity with a positive mindset and try to enjoy life’s ride.
Life isn’t always easy, but we need to try and see the good from the bad,
Always aim to be positive and happy, not negative and sad,
When life throws you a curveball it’s okay to get stressed,
When you surround yourself with good people, they help you to feel blessed,
Remember that everybody in life is writing their own book,
Each day a new page, a new mindset and look,
Whatever we do in life we must take with pride,
Take each opportunity with a positive mindset and try to enjoy life’s ride.
Thanks for reading! I hope you liked the poem. Let me know what you think in the comments below or on our Facebook page. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you in the next blog!

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!
Today’s blog is going to be a poem I wrote about an old counselors room that I used to go to. The idea of the poem is that the room is like a safe haven where you can go and simply let go of your problems. I wrote the poem in a style that repeats the last two lines at the end of every verse/stanza.
Here’s the poem:
A place to go when you’re happy or sad,
An escape to go to when you’re stressed out or mad.
If you’re feeling stressed and have an impending sense of doom,
When people judge you and just assume,
When your heads a mess and you’re out of zoom,
Take a minute out of your day to go to Mo’s room,
When you’re stuck in a cycle of anxiety and gloom,
To restore your confidence to allow you to bloom,
Take a minute out of your day to go to Mo’s room,
A place to go when you’re happy or sad,
An escape to go to when you’re tired or mad.
If you’re having problems talking to your family,
Or you might be suffering financially,
If it’s prime exam time or you have anxiety,
And you feel your life running rampantly,
A group who would help no matter who you were,
Who would help you see clearly if your mind was a blur,
A place to go when you’re happy or sad,
An escape to go to when you’re tired or mad.
If you need help or just a bit of support,
Maybe you’re going through trauma or an issue in court,
If you’re getting bullied an are too scared to report,
If your minds a mess and you have things you need to sort,
If a friend lets you down and left you and has fallen short,
When you feel like giving up and for your plans to abort,
A place to go when you’re happy or sad,
An escape to go to when you’re stressed out or mad.
If you’re looking for a branch that you cannot reach,
You need advice, not someone to preach,
If you don’t know what to do next, be it University or an apprenticeship,
Or if you are having problems with your relationship,
If you want advice and a helping hand,
Or you want to rediscover yourself and re-brand,
A place to go when you’re happy or sad,
An escape to go to when you’re stressed out or mad.
Thank you for reading today’s blog! What do you all think? Do you have a place to go to release? Does everyone like this style of poems or would you like a different style in the future? What do you like/dislike about the poem? Let me know in the comments or get in touch with me!
